ya know usually I dont like kits....but that 300 is so damn sexy!

I dont know...choice is up to you. Id sell the si rims for sure though...dont like em. The ep si parts are really going to start coming out this yr...turbos, the jrsc, more parts from mugen and spoon, etc.
I dont think Id be trading a new car for one thats over 10yrs old though

^^Agreed. Ever though it's N/A, it's still a sweet looking ZX. Besides, you have to pay out the ass for a turbo'ed one. I give it my official :thumbsup:

Don't sell! Keep SI! Cuz 03 is still brand-new.

I think 93 nissan 300zx have a lot of miles than '03 SI. SI have lower miles than 300zx. Lower miles is better without any problem.

as much as i like nissans, and z32's inparticular, its never gonna feel like "your" car. its gonna be your friends you bought. its not fast(relative to its competition) and what can you really do to it besides TT part swaps(brakes motor suspension etc). if you want a badass Z, get a mid 90's twin turbo, or if your set on it, but it with the intentions of swapping the motor asap. my 2 cents

oh you said molded body kit.... i dunno if the pic is old or not, but thats not modled in

yeah, but you didnt do the work to it. The Z is an awesome car, but you'd never be able to call it your own. Keep the Si, and wait for the performance parts to become available. Or get ahead of the game and make your own.

thanks everyone for replying... i'm still not sure what to do! GRRRRRR!!! I mean.. i want that Z so bad i can taste it! .. well umm. not really.. but ya get the point.. but seriously.. if yall had heard that Z start up and rev.. OMG! I nut just thinkin about it! and w/ it being Ttops.. ahh man! It's hard to pass this up! I just dont know what to do..
on one hand i have a BRAND new car.. but w/ a 315/month payment.. and then on the other hand i have a MADDDDD sexy Z for prob around 200/ month.. so i think i'm gonna get the Z....

but now all i have to do is sell the SI.. any takers?????;)

still think keep the SI...that z is sexy as hell and all but if it were me I would a hell of a lot for pride in something I paid for not my friend as far as the parts go, I look at cars as a form of art, maybe I'm just weird. I would say keep the SI and make it faster and nicer to your tastes:yes:

Its not exactly a cheep car to fix either (the Z).



Keep the SI, there is no reason to buy a watered down version of a legendary supercar.

I still say the ZX. yeah, the Si is new but it kinda looks like a Focus to me. I've just never liked smaller hatchbacks to begin with...and damnit that ZX looks nice. True, you won't be the one who put in the wrench time, but you can always improve on it.
